A Man On His Ride To Excesses.

It's a very cheesy movie. Literally way too much cheese. So much coke going on that I'm surprised that he can even function; let alone drive anywhere; so that is unrealistic.

A young kid gets involved in an international organisation after becoming a driver for a bloated businessman.

The yonng hot-headed kid way overclaims his abilities and gets asked to drive for the syndicate who are money-laundering properties in Spain.

It's not going to be a happy ending and you realise that so early on. The obvious happens as it always does. It's pretty nonsenquentual how this is involved with the entire collapse of the Spanish economy as history was a bit different and it was actually a '100 billion euros' rescue package provided by the European Stability Mechanism'.

The actors keep on having sex and the script gets pretty repetitive and dull. It's the kinda movie that was invented after a night out in a club thinking you could write a better story than what actually happened in 2007. It is not. It is silly. It is superficial. It makes no sense.

Almost every corny thing about fame is in this and it is very much a bad crossover of Transport and Wolf Of Wallstreet. Love (not) the nonsene of on-off relationships with the lead and all of the women having affairs. So dumb.

The ediiting is good and the cinematography is ok; lots of Scorcese influences. It's just not an appealing movie considering that so many of these have been done before.
